Popis: The objective of the paper is to analyse how agro-food value chain has become a key element of regional economy and to show how public policy initiatives attempt to support this result. Emilia-Romagna food industry is one of the world’s most competitive, but it is facing increasing global competition, due to market buyer power, ability to impose product/process standards and logistic requirements. In order to face this challenging system of economic change, Emilia-Romagna regional government has strongly supported policies for the promotion and internationalisation of agro-food value chains. This strategy has been translated into policy initiatives, such as 2007-2013 Emilia-Romagna Rural Development Plan and the promotion of studies and research for the identification of excellent companies within regional value chains, under Sprint-ER service. The capacity of industrial organisations by way of processes of co-operation, integration and public-private collaboration has led the development of the mechanical industry which has supplied a constant support in terms of technical knowledge and expertises within different parts of the regional value chains. Excellent firms introducing technologies allow useful knowledge diffusion within the agro-food chains enhancing international competitive capabilities of all rings. In addition, the need for a better strategic planning and integration among the different public initiatives has emerged.
